Chapter 804 A Strong Man Breaks His Wrist

A hail of arrows fell from the Xiliang cavalry, and screams came from the Yizhou army. Although the exact number of casualties was not known, everyone in the Xiliang cavalry was good at riding and shooting, so they must have made a lot of achievements this round.

"fight back!"

Naturally, the Yizhou army could not just take a beating without fighting back. The archers in the rear of the army opened fire under the cover of the sword and shield men. Arrows shot out from the darkness. The Xiliang cavalry on horseback were not prepared, and they were shot off their horses one by one.

Some of the horses were hit by arrows and became so mad that they jumped and jumped, knocking off the Xiliang cavalry from their bodies. Some of the horses even ran and jumped around, causing chaos in the Xiliang army's formation.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that Zhang Ren had already ambushed elite soldiers in the rear army, and he fell into the trap this time."

Ma Teng said gloomily.

"Father, what should we do?"

Matthew frowned.

A look of determination flashed in Ma Teng's eyes and he ordered: "Order the front row sergeants to dismount."

"What?"

Ma Xiu was stunned. If the cavalry dismounted, wouldn't they become infantry? Could it be that my father planned to fight infantry against infantry?

"Order the soldiers in the front row to stab the horses in the buttocks and drive the horses to attack the enemy. Our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy!" Ma Teng said decisively.

When the soldiers in the front row heard the order, they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. After all, war horses are of great significance to the cavalry. They are completely the second life of the cavalry. However, since the military order has been issued, naturally it can only be carried out.

The Xiliang soldier in the front row held his saber and stabbed the horse's butt hard.

"Hoar!"

Xiliang's horse was severely injured. It raised its hooves in severe pain and subconsciously rushed out. It rushed towards the Yizhou Army in front of it regardless of it. It was similar to Tian Dan's Fire Ox Formation.

"Don't let these crazy horses come up and kill them!"

Naturally, arrows flew out of the Yizhou military formation and hit the rushing Xiliang war horses. However, these horses were so painful that they just ran wildly with their hooves and suddenly collided with the Yizhou military formation.

Boom!

The Yizhou saber shield hand felt that blood was boiling all over his body, and half of his body was numb. Fortunately, there was a shield in front of him. If he had directly used his body to block the collision of the war horse, he would probably have broken his bones.

However, the Yizhou military formation was still beaten to pieces by the Xiliang war horses. Some of the weak sword and shield wielders could not resist and were knocked away directly. The flaw in the military formation was naturally exposed.

"kill!"

A flash of light flashed in Ma Teng's eyes, and he immediately ordered the troops to be sent out. The Xiliang Buqi, who could not hold back, immediately rushed forward and fought with the Yizhou soldiers.

"The Governor has an order to stop the Xiliang army!"

The Yizhou Army saw the Xiliang cavalry coming up like a tide, but they were not panicked. After all, they were all warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. A real elite soldier could not only fight with the wind, but the key was to be able to fight with the wind. Only those troops who can endure hard fighting can be called elite soldiers.

The Xiliang army was also experienced in hundreds of battles. Suddenly two elite soldiers were fighting in one place. Each of the elite soldiers was like fallen wheat, falling to the ground easily. The number of dead and wounded soldiers of the two soldiers became more and more... There were many, but the two armies refused to retreat at all, and they had to fight to the death.

Just as the two armies were fighting desperately, a desolate and rich horn horn sound suddenly came from more than ten miles to the east. The Xiliang army couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard the horn horn sound.

"Haha, everyone, hold on! The general is here!" Ma Teng said happily: "Attack, don't let the enemy go."

This horn horn sound was exactly the sound of the Xiliang Army's contact drum. I could only see a faint black shadow coming slowly from the distance. However, because the line of sight was unclear at night, I couldn't see clearly. However, just from the It can be seen from the smoke and dust that it is coming, it must be a large army.

The Xiliang army's morale was high, but the Yizhou army's morale dropped sharply.

"Reinforcements from Xiliang soldiers are coming?"

"Damn, this is not good."

Leng Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, these Xiliang cavalry caught up so fast. How on earth did they know that our army was withdrawing?"

Naturally, Leng Bao didn't know that it was Zhang Song who revealed the news.

"Please tell me from the Grand Governor what our army should do." Leng Bao gritted his teeth to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers turned around and told Zhang Ren about the arrival of the Xiliang army.

"The Xiliang army is catching up?"

When Zhang Ren heard this, his expression suddenly turned cloudy.

The Xiliang army rushed forward. Even if Zhang Jaw led a partial army to surround Chengdu, there would be at least 50,000 to 60,000 people left, twice as many as the Yizhou army. If we were to use all our strength to fight the enemy at this moment, , It's not that Zhang Ren has no confidence, it's just that the Xiliang Army's combat effectiveness is so amazing that the Yizhou Army is afraid of being completely annihilated.

What should be done? It was difficult for Zhang Ren to make a decision for a while, but the sound of fighting in the distance was pressing on his nerves. If he did not make a decision, when the main force of the Xiliang Army really caught up, even if he wanted to retreat, he would not be able to make a decision. No chance.

If we fight head-on, we may not be able to win even with all our strength. If we retreat, the rear army will not be able to withdraw.

But if we don't retreat, how can we break the siege of Chengdu?

"That's all. Order Leng Bao to hold on to the enemy and the rest of the troops to retreat!"

Zhang Ren had no choice but to make up his mind, cut off his warriors' wrists, abandon the rear army and delay the enemy, while the remaining troops retreated to break the siege of Chengdu.

"The Grand Governor has ordered the entire army to retreat!"

Under Zhang Ren's order, nearly 20,000 Yizhou troops accelerated their retreat to the west. Zhang Ren took one last look at the rear army and said silently: "Leng Bao, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Zhang Ren turned around resolutely and turned away without any regret, leaving only a figure behind.

"What? The Grand Governor ordered our army to cut off the rear?"

Leng Bao was shocked when he heard this, and his expression changed drastically.

The soldier who was grabbed by his collar whispered: "Captain Leng, the Governor said that he would lead troops to rescue Chengdu. He cannot start a decisive battle with the Xiliang Army here. Please Commander Leng, resist the Xiliang Army no matter what." Time, buy time for the Grand Governor.”

Leng Bao's face changed several times, just like the face changing in a Sichuan opera. He never expected that he and the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command would become abandoned.

"Hahaha!"

Leng Bao laughed several times and said loudly: "Give me an order to order the entire army to hold on to this formation and not to take a step back!"

"Here!"

Naturally, the Yizhou Army's rear troops did not know that Zhang Ren had withdrawn his troops. They all thought that Zhang Ren would lead his troops to rescue them, so their morale was high. The Yizhou soldiers in the rear formation were originally the elite of the army. In the case of a decisive battle, the formation was naturally stronger. The Xiliang infantry under Ma Teng could not break into the enemy's formation no matter what, and instead lost troops and generals.

"The general has arrived!"

At this moment, the Xiliang army finally arrived.
